A. Ephesians 6:10-20 Teaches Us to Be Prepared For Battle 3

B. Ephesians 6:10-20 Is A Call For Action, Even In Our Modern Day And Age. 7
Christians must walk boldly out into the world today; they mustn’t remain sheltered and out of the public view. 7

Consider verses 19-20 and what it means to be a Christian leader today. Use Tucker (2012) as a basis for this commentary. 10
Fervent prayer must be our consistent call to action when giving our leaders the power they need to continue the fight. 11
Leaders must be willing to declare the Gospel fearlessly, as Paul espouses in Verse 20. Again, refer to Tucker’s commentary about being modern day leader, using the churches in Corinth and Ephesus as a reference point. 11
